French fans have been unable to behave themselves lately. Whether it’s Marseille ultras storming the training grounds, Marseille and Nice fans brawling during a match or what happened during the Saint-Étienne vs Angers match on Friday, Ligue 1 fans have become a bit too much a story in 2021.
Fort Worth native Bryan Reynolds made his first career start for AS Roma on Thursday. It wasn’t a match to remember.
Reynolds, a right back who moved to Italy from FC Dallas over the summer, was part of the worst defensive performance in José Mourinho’s 1,008-match career in a stunning 6-1 defeat to Bodø/Glimt in the Europa Conference League. Never before had Mourinho, a man often accused of playing boring, defensive football, allowed six goals in a match.
The Houston Dynamo are in a heated race in the standings as we head into the final stretch of the MLS season. With just a few matches left, Houston leads rivals FC Dallas and Austin FC for the “First Place In Texas And Not Last Place In The West Cup” I just made up. But the Dynamo stumbled in their attempts to not suck as much as the other Texas clubs with a 3-0 loss to the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night, a match highlighted by a Houston Dynamo proposal fail.
Hernán Cristante tiene un largo historial de expulsiones en la Liga MX y ayer sumó una más a su colección durante el duelo de Toluca vs Necaxa.
La mayoría de las rojas que recibió Cristante en su carrera fueron por acaloradas discusiones con árbitros, las cuales incluso lo llevaron hace un par de años a un tratamiento sicológico para controlar la euforia. Ante los Rayos, sin embargo, el entrenador choricero fue enviado a las regaderas por una causa completamente diferente: una patada al jugador hidrocálido, Luis Arcadio García.
You haven’t played ball growing up if you never took a ball to the face on a cold day. The stinging sensation that engulf your cheeks and nose is a feeling a steward in England felt Tuesday night when he took a penalty kick directly to the face.
This penalty is brilliant. #ytfc pic.twitter.com/cFOAsvfjJq
If you were able to watch the Champions League on Paramount+ on Tuesday without interruptions, then you were one of the lucky ones. If you’re like me, you were stuck looking up “Paramount plus down” or “Paramount plus Champions League down.”
The first half went smoothly for me. I watched a bit of the Transnistria underdogs Sheriff and then hopped over to watch Ajax and Dortmund. Everything went wrong when I heard that Sheriff equalized against Inter Milan seven minutes into the second half. When I tried to switch games, I was greeted with this.
The greatest love story in football — is it David Beckham and Posh Spice? Too tired. Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo? Too cookie-cutter. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez? That’s a Peloton ad.
No, nothing comes close to Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara and whoever is completing the messy love triangle at this particular moment in time.
England have been ordered to play their next two home games in UEFA competition without supporters present after disturbances during their Euro 2020 final against Italy at Wembley in July, European soccer's governing body said in a statement on Monday.
The ban on fans attending the second game has been suspended for a probationary period of two years, while the English FA has been fined 100,000 euros ($116,000), UEFA added.
Norwich City got its second point of the Premier League season with a scoreless draw against Brighton on Saturday. A brutal Josh Sargent miss vs. Brighton in the first half will have the Canaries wishing they got all three points.
Sargent Had a really good half otherwise, too. #USMNT pic.twitter.com/6EbKOmZNJ6
If you haven’t seen a picture or video of the Portugal U21 scoreboard from a Euro qualifier against Liechtenstein on Thursday, I implore you to take a gander. Liechtenstein’s senior team is ranked 188th in the world. As a country with second lowest population among UEFA members, I honestly didn’t even know they had enough people for a U21 team.
